I'm of the opinion that Rose probably shouldn't have won the 2011 MVP... but he certainly should have been in the discussion, in the top 5. He basically WAS their offense, a lot like 2001 Iverson, so he exerted a real impact on their ability to win at the level they did. The defense was their foundation and backbone, but they needed him to push them forward. The idea that there are people in this thread questioning if he should have even been an All-Star is a little wild to me.

Otherwise, this is a neat comparison and I think I might land more on Rose's side by a small margin.
